... oh yes, and there will be four fur-filled days counting down until the beast is set free. Make sure to bring your silver cane and lock of wolfsbane.

As primarily a creature of fiction, there exist a plethora of myths and legends that surround The Wolfman and yet there are a select few tidbits that have remained consistent. One of which remain the infamous transformation sequence. For some films, there are strict guidelines that the wolfen can only transform under the pall of a full moon, while more modern interpretations suggest that strong emotions can act as a catalyst for the change.

Luckily, there are others online, such as YouTube user jumpjacks who share our morbid curiosities and have taken the liberty to cull together quite a collection of transformations that run the entire gamut from out right funny to soul-puncturing terrifying. Check them all out above and look out tomorrow for even more werewolf-inspired tributes.

AH!!!! I'm so excited!!! My mom was telling me about how she remembers seeing all of the old Universal Horror films when she was growing up. It's so neat to hear those stories from the ones who experienced it first hand ya know? Just finished posting a little sermfin sermfin about Howling V in honor of the Wolfman remake. I figured I'd cover something a little more obscure.

Don't forget Gary Brandner's concept that Lycanthropes are basically Shape-Shifters who do not necessarily need lunar influences to transform, just their own conscious ability to do so. Fast forward to Dick Miller's speech about Shape-Shifters near the end of THE HOWLING. It's quite humorous as well. LONG LIVE MR. FUTTERMAN!!

Strangelove: Kind Words from Online

If you're a monster kid who never grew out of your adolescent love of B-movie flicks and genre toys, you'll be right at home surfing the Strange Kids Club blog. With sections dedicated to trailers, video games, wrestling, and cartoons, it's got a little something for everyone who's young or young at (black) heart.

Strange Kids Club provides a visual smorgasbord of art and animation devoted to horror, the fantastic, and the mischievous kid in all of us who still insists sugar-packed cereals are a major food source and better come with a toy or else.

Strange Kids Club is an awesome repository for pop culture nostalgia. Lots of images and video links and great articles on trailers, cartoons, movies and wrestling. Lots of fun and the design of the site is fantastic.

Strange Kids Club is a safe haven for all the geeky kids who got up super early on a Saturday morning to watch really good cartoons, who could sing The Hulksters theme song, and who stayed up late that night to catch horror programming and other assorted B movie fare. If you are one for nostalgia and were a child raised in the 80's, then Strange Kids Club should be your one stop shop for reliving those childhood memories.

I have literally become obsessed with Strange Kids Club. I can't get enough of what you're dishing out and every time I visit the site, I'm reminded of everything in this world that makes it worth experiencing.
